Keeping the $wolves at bay

Had to come up with a plan of action to keep the $barbarians from the door for this coming week. David and I are both now waiting for Centrelink back pay, and for our money to be put at a survivable level. Meanwhile another week goes by with virtually nothing. This week the situation is made even worse as the credit card is so high now that the minimum payment each month is getting rather a lot. If I miss that the bank will chuck a fit and freeze the account, and then we'll be really fucked won't we if Centrelink is still fart assing around with our payments.

So I've paid the rent with the credit card again. I get the meager pension amount on Wednesday, in time to meet the minimum payment date on the card. So I can use the pension money, what it is at the moment, to cover next weeks rent and the credit card minimum payment. The $wolves will be kept at bay. 

Of course that means living off the credit card whilst waiting for Centrelink now.
